They all then went back to HQ to talk it over.
"Okay, Tech, time to make with the big words." Ace said to the coyote since he was the brains of the group and would likely know why and how this happened.
Tech clicked on a screen. "The meteor that hit Acmetropolis a year ago was just a tiny one... This one here is about five times bigger than the original!"
"Kinda makes ya miss the old days, huh?" Ace commented.
"Oh, great, when the next one hits, everyone will have superpowers," Duck grunted. "Will they get better costumes?"
"I don't think so, Duck, in fact, that meteor looks big enough to destroy the planet." Estelle grew worried.
"And I think Zadavia might know about it." Vincent said.
"You're absolutely right, Estelle and Vincent," Zadavia signed in, as if on cue. "Which is why you have to journey into space before that meteor hits Acmetropolis."
"Well, don't worry your floating head, boss lady!" Duck rushed over, kissing up to their adviser. "We laugh at danger!" he then laughed to prove his point. "Besides, what's so scary about a little space voyage?"
"Well, there is the pressure, and the stomach aches, the black holes, the intergalactic evilness, the zero gravity, the supernovas..." Felicity listed, sounding very worried.
"Gee, thanks, cuz, now I don't feel scared at all." Vincent said, sarcastically.
"Oh, my apologies..." Felicity didn't mean to do that.
"Zadavia out..." Zadavia signed off.
They now had to do some training to prepare them for their space traveling mission.
Ace and Akito were facing the holographic bad guys while Lexi put the switches for zero gravity on and off occasionally. And where Estelle was by her side to join in when she could.
"Is this not a little too... How you say... Extreme?" Felicity sounded nervy.
"This is our biggest mission yet," Ace said to her after the hologram bad guys were defeated. "Gotta be ready for anything."
"Oh, you always land on your feet," Lexi assured, handing him a rag to wipe his sweat off. "Plus, we got these kids on our side."
"Couldn't agree more." Estelle said.
"Still needs a lot of practice..." Ace mumbled.
"Let's just take a break." Akito suggested.
"Alright," Ace agreed. "So, what do you guys wanna do then?"
"Talk?" Felicity shrugged.
"Okay, what about?" Ace smiled.
"How about your lives before the meteor hit?" Akito suggested.
"That sounds pretty good..." Ace smiled.
"Tell us about it then." Estelle sat with her siblings and cousin.
"Sil vous plait?" Felicity was even interested.
"Well, for me, before the meteor hit, I was a stunt bunny for movies," Ace explained. "The actors would do most of filming, but I stepped in for them to do their stunts," he then frowned a little. "I had some good ideas, but the director never wanted to listen to 'em..."
"Sounds like the guy was a jerk." Akito said.
"Tell me about it," Ace scoffed, folding his arms in memory. "And talk about a loudmouth drama queen."
"So, you were in the middle of one of your movies by the time the meteor hit?" Estelle guessed.
"That's right," Ace nodded. "It was just a normal day and the next thing I knew, it's showtime."
"Wow." Akito said.
"That's about all I can remember." Ace said to them then.
The kids smiled, they learned something new today.
After brief training, they walked out of the room and saw Lexi talking with Duck.
"Hey, Lexi, hey, Duck, what are you two talking about?" Estelle asked.
"I was just asking Duck if there have been signs of anymore meteor showers." Lexi explained for them.
"Nope, but the handsome superhero defends with confidence," Duck replied, striking random poses. "Confident that one day danger will strike, and he'll have to protect the lives of-"
"A simple no would've done fine, Duck." Estelle cut him off right there.
"Have you always been this so serious?" Felicity added.
"Yeah, have you always been so serious?" Vincent asked.
"Of course... I remember it like it was yesterday..." Duck was starting to remember when he got struck by the meteor. "The bronze and handsome lifeguard sits at his calm focus, yet confident... Confident that that danger will strike and he'll protect the lives of-"
"This is a lie, isn't it?" Akito narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Uhh... Well,... Okay, I was a pool boy," Duck then admitted. "But it was a waste of my talent!"
"We can tell, anyways, continue." Estelle said.
"So anyway, there I was by the pool, using the net..." Duck continued. "Finding 'treasures from the deep' and then the meteor hit!" he then shook his head as he pulled himself from his thoughts.
"Wow Duck, I gotta hand it to you, you've come a long way from diaper duty." Lexi smirked to him.
"You got that right, toots," Duck nodded. "You gotta be fearless with guys like me."
"Oh, I know what it's like to be in the spotlight." Lexi commented.
"Really?" Estelle asked, curious.
"Oh, yeah," Lexi smiled. "Before the meteor hit, I was a student at Acmetropolis University... I tried out to be a cheerleader."
"Cool," Estelle said. "How did it go before the meteor hit?"
"Okay..." Lexi shrugged. "I wasn't perfect, but I was no ordinary bunny girl, I even ended with a split," she then smiled down to the kids. "The judges even thought I was better than the head cheerleader. She said it was such a cute routine, but I didn't have what it takes."
"Spoilsport." Akito and Estelle mumbled, not liking that girl, even if they didn't know her.
"Yeah." Vincent agreed with them.
"Was that when the meteor hit?" Felicity asked.
"Yep, I remember it coming at the top of the bleachers, I was too sore from my practice while everyone else got out of the way, and there you have it." Lexi concluded her story.
"Wow." Estelle said out of amazement.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for this mission," Lexi looked more determined now more than ever, she then smirked back to the duck. "And I know I'll be as brave as you, Duck."
"Dare to dream, Lexi," Duck advised. "Dare to dream."
The kids glanced to them and walked off.
"I like Lexi's story the best," Estelle smiled, she had liked the female bunny like an older sister. "It feels so influential."
"It is not just influent, it is an inspiration for the female empowerment." Felicity agreed.
"Yeah." Estelle said.
"So Tech, how ya gonna get us up to that big rock?" Ace asked the coyote as the kids stumbled into another room of Loonatics Headquarters.
"Easy, the Tech E. Coyote Space Stream 8000." Tech smiled, he stood in front of a cover and held a rope, he pulled on the rope to reveal the space travel machine which looked a lot like a UFO.
"Cool..." the Fudo kids liked it.
"It is certainly... Umm... What is the word for it?" Felicity twirled her finger in her pigtails.
"Retro, isn't it?" Duck asked for her.
"In fact, it's just the thing we need to destroy that meteor." Tech replied, taking out a schematic.
"Well then, let's get this baby up into the air." Akito said.
Tech set the controls and seat-belts up so they could destroy this meteor before it would hurt everyone unlike last time. "Oh, if only the fellas back at the Acme Institute could see me now..." he said, very proud of his accomplishments.
"Did you work there?" Vincent asked.
"Student," Tech corrected. "As you know, I'm a very intelligent individual, so I usually showed inventions for my science courses. The professors weren't as appreciative though..." he sighed a little, feeling shunned for his true genius. "The professor told me he thought I was a mad genius, but after a little disaster, he just called me mad. I just wished someone could've seen who I truly was..."
"Well don't Zadavia and the team?" Akito asked.
"Yeah, they do now, but this was before the meteor hit." Tech reminded with a small smile. He then pushed the button to start the Space Stream 8000 to send them up into the big black vacuum of space.
Felicity looked rather green already and tried to relax herself as she felt space sickness already taking over her.
"Great job, Tech!" Akito congratulated.
"Yeah, it's retro, but amazing!" Estelle added.
"Yeah, it's good for a flying dinner plate." Duck muttered.
"Oh, be quiet, Duck." Vincent said.
Tech gave them warnings of what to expect in space travel. A bolt zapped around them and shook them up a little.
"Uh, Tech, why does it sound like the engine just stopped?" Ace asked.
"Uh, well, I think it's because the engine just stopped..." Tech replied nervously, he did not intend for this to happen.
The ship was now shaking off course and looking like it had a high possibility of crashing.
